A fabulous and rare solid 18 carat gold Victorian English minute repeater chiming pocket watch in super condition and full working order. The watch really is superb, if you are not familiar with what a minute repeater is this watch chimes out the time to the nearest minute which is operated by using a slide on the edge of the watch , if it was twenty past two, the watch would chime twice for the hours , then a double chime once indicating quarter past then 5 single chimes for the extra minutes, so twenty past two, the watch is quite large and heavy and weighs an impressive 136.5 grams, theres a fancy monogram on one cover and a heraldic crest on the other featuring the latin motto "In Pace Ut Sapiens" which i believe to be a shortened version of the Latin expression "in pace, ut sapiens, aptarit idonea bello" meaning "in peace, like a wise man, he appropriately prepares for war". The watch is fully hallmarked 18 carat gold and hallmarked for London 1881. It has a 3/4 plate gilt frosted movement. A fabulous item.
Diameter of watch 53mm
